"Program Management is an organizational function that oversees a group of individual projects linked together through a shared organizational goal or common area of impact. This programmatic grouping of multiple projects provides synergy, consistent management, and greater visibility to stakeholders than individually managed projects. Program managers must maintain a strategic plan and schedule for their programs, inform and advise stakeholders, review the status and progress of projects, mentor project managers, and safeguard the quality of each project plan and its deliverables"-- Provided by publisher.
